"According to the CCC, on Oct. 1, 2025, there had been over 29,000 political protests held around the country since Donald Trump’s second inauguration this January. I added the 2,500 No Kings Day events we have tracked in our spreadsheet.
Over the same period in 2017, during Trump’s first term, there were barely over 8,000 protests."

"The idea that someone is paying MILLIONS of Americans to go out and protest is a lie so absurd that only a Republican could believe it.

Ron Filipkowski offers a number of his favorite signs from yesterday's No Kings events. These are 31-40 of a projected 40 he will share in several postings.
Of this lot, my two favorites are attached below.
"About 400 people and at least six frogs turned out to the American Embassy in Ireland to call for No Kings today. …
We had maybe 6 frogs, one dancing dinosaur, and one chicken over the course of the protest, including a frog from Portland."
